Seeing eye dogs are main helpers in the disabled community. Nowadays, they not only help the blind, but can help those that are paralyzed by doing task not able to be performed by their owner. The first establishment for guide dogs was in Germany after World War I to assist the war veterans that were blinded during war. Americans adopted this method of training dogs to assist the disabled.
Seeing eye dogs are a great example of humans and animals working together in the world. Dogs were once wild animals that descended from wolves, but now they trained and taught by some to help others. There was a man that had a seeing eye dog near my high school and Ive seen this dog open a door, stop at a red light and go on a green light, warn the owner of upcoming obstacles (steps, curbs, and ramps). The dog remains calm and is always working to assist its owner.
